You bet your butt he is.
The Secretary of State’s office just announced yet another progressive step being taken.
FRANKFORT — Secretary of State Trey Grayson’s office is going to a four-day-a-week schedule for some of its employees.
To help some of the office employees with skyrocketing gas prices, Grayson is planning to implement a four-day-a-week work schedule, beginning June 16.
About 12 of the office’s 36 employees have signed up for the pilot program, said spokesman Les Fugate.
Go read the rest.
What’s going on, Democrats? Step up to the plate before Republican Trey Grayson out-progresses you. He’s doing the right thing at every opportunity and it’s like we, as Democrats in Kentucky, just ignore anything and everything we could use to make the state a better place. And everything that would increase voter participation.
If Grayson’s program is successful, will the rest of our constitutional officers follow along?

Now if he would just start championing (small-d) democratic electoral reforms – like keeping the polls open past a pitiful 6 p.m., for starters – he’d look pretty good.

I think he should run for a higher office. Governor maybe? He has a lot of bipartisan support as seen last year when he was one of the two Republicans elected to state office.

Grayson is young and not caught up in the prehistoric backward thinking world that Beshear and Company live in.
Many of the people Beshear has hired are from the 80’s and early 90’s when state government was in a different solar system.
Farmer is a youg republican too. Any thoughts on him running for Governor?

Mr. Basketball as governor? HA! That’s the Republican Party’s worst nightmare. I’m not even certain they’re cool with him as a potential running mate for Trey.
But Trey as governor? I’d vote for him over Steve Beshear.

I’m completely flabbergasted that you guys let Trey Grayson get ahead of you on government transparency. What were you thinking?
If you really want to make David Williams mad, support putting government contracts and expenditures on the internet for everyone to see.

Ritchie Farmer as Gov would be almost as bad as letting Bunning be Senator… oh, wait.

EKU is also doing this. It’s not a Trey Grayson idea. However, I give him props for considering his employees best interest, and I’m not a Trey fan.

? No one said it was Trey Grayson’s idea. He’s the first constitutional officer to try it out, as I stated.
Context clues, people.
Actually, the first to try this in Kentucky: Oldham County government.
